Impressive, aren't they? Saturday we were at Brandon's, put them under his Pendragon XL, transformed his whole system and room. When speakers are decoupled from the floor it not only improves the speakers, it removes a huge amount of vibration feeding into floor and walls causing them to vibrate, producing sound that muddies and colors and makes you hear the room instead of the music. On Podiums we hear the music floating in the room much more clearly, almost as if the room itself is no longer even there.

Remarkable stuff.

I have made a purchase or 2 based on your comments. I very much appreciate your input on any number of things/ products. Thank you.

You are very much welcome- and thank you for saying so. Of course it drives the haters heads to explode. (I know, rent free!) Which makes it all the more gratifying.

I can’t try everything that’s out there- no one can!- but I go to a lot of trouble to find what I think is the best, and then when I can to learn how it does in fact work, by listening.

The more you do this the more you will find yourself outside the monkey see monkey do norm. So be prepared. But also the more you will find yourself with an uncommonly satisfying system. So totally worth the effort.

btw we did Podiums under Brandon's Pendragon XL yesterday, similar huge improvement in bass, removed so much overhang/resonance you would think would require many huge tube traps.

Townshend F1 interconnects. I'm awaiting their speaker podiums and would love to be able to afford their Fractal F1 speaker cables.
These are genuine breakthrough products. You will be shocked, surprised and impressed how many resonance problems were coloring your sound unawares, only realized when putting your speakers on  Podiums and poof they are gone! You probably heard this with your F1 interconnects, only the effect was maybe not as obvious owing to all the other colored gear still being used. That's what happened with me.   

In my case I did Pods on one thing after another until finally doing Podiums with the Moabs. Wow. Huge. This gave me confidence to try the F1 cables. These are all very similar in that they are so perfectly devoid of any sound of their own. The sorts of resonances they eliminate are so prevalent across so many components they are like RFI on the AC, you can't hear it till it's gone!   

My room a year ago was so boomy that coming home after a visit to Mike Lavigne's place, hearing his exceptionally flat room and system, it was like a sore thumb. Now though, Chuxpona Sunday, not at all. Huge difference, without even so much as a single room treatment. 

Breakthrough, indeed!
